Iowa has some freshman who can shoot. If they can get a little more athletic they could be a tourney team next year.

Ya, I've thought we are(hopefully) an NIT team this year, but next year we have no excuse not to easily make the tourney. The freshmen should get better, we add Uthoff who will contribute a lot immediately, and our only recruit Jok was a top 100 guy before his knee injury.

We have the pieces, just need someone like Marble to get his head out of his ass or Gesell to step up to be our leader.

I thought Basabe was going to end up being a lot better than he is after his freshman year. What's his deal?

His game is 95% mental. He hit a soph slump last year and lost confidence. He's just starting to get it back, but if he struggles he basically takes himself out of games. Should have developed into a solid starter, but now is just a real good energy guy off the bench.

I mean...when you're comparing a loss to getting drubbed by the Topeka YMCA like a hundred years ago before they even started cutting the bottoms out of the peach baskets...there's not much worse of a loss than that...

Congratulations on that. But final four teams don't lose to Fresno State and Boise State in back to back games.

Kansas lost to Oklahoma State and TCU back-to-back. Also, Boise State is a good team. They beat Creighton at their place, and they almost beat Michigan State at their place. If they were able to pull of the Michigan State upset, they would've been ranked. As it stands now, Boise State has about a 50% chance of making the NCAA Tournament.

Finally, the MWC is a better conference than the Pac-12 this year. And, they were last year as well.

So ****** what? The Pac-12 is trash this year like it has been for a while. The MWC isn't a bad conference at all, I never said it was. But Boise State is 7th in the conference right now, the percentage isn't even close to 50% get the **** outta here. They have 3 conference wins and 2 have come against bottom 3 teams.

Yeah, I mean the win over Creighton is nice and all, but it's still just Creighton (Creighton also lost to Drake). But more to the point, they lost to Utah, which is 2-8 in the Pac12, as well as Nevada, another crap team.
